EPA to Sign Memorandum of Understanding with Clemson University

ATLANTA – On Friday, March 7, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Clemson University to enhance research, teaching, outreach, career development, and stewardship in environmental and mathematical sciences. As a part of the MOU, EPA will commit to enhance the university’s environmental policy and science curricula and offer opportunities for students interested in environmental careers.

Through this MOU the partners express their intention to establish cooperative working relationships over the next four years, in areas of mutual interest, including participation by the Institutions in the EPA Region 4 Environmental Science Partnership Program. This MOU is also intended to help to address the dwindling participation of students in environmental fields of study, and to help EPA attract a workforce that is as diverse as the public we serve.
